I cant do it anymore without yelling at people, and thats not who I want to be.
Joined a few “antifascist” circles on my socials, and fuck, its…rough. Just spent 10 minutes going back and forth with a 
defender who refused to google anything. Tons of anticommunism. Lots of “vote blue no matter who.” Their idea seems to be that fascism begins and ends with Trump/Maga and is not the natural state of Amerikkka.
Every now and then I’ll come across someone who has done the reading, learned the history, and is trying to teach - but 9/10 times its a meme page and not an individual person, which us…surprising for some reason.
Anyways ive hit the point where “social media has sent me a silly notification, i shall neither read nor respond to it.” Fuck it is slept like shit and am grumpy so im napping.
Yep last time I voted in a federal election was 2008 for Obama and only because he promised to shut down guantanamo and prosecute Bush. Of course he lied but at least in my day they used to pretend.
Yeah, it’s my main issue with so-called “leftist” people in government right now. People like AOC or Bernie, or Mamdani or even someone Omar. I respect Omar or Tlaib as people despite that they might not be perfect or may have said a bad thing here or there. My main issue is fundamentally their role in the US government has been to maintain it and “fix” it. Just stop. Let it end. It needs to end.
It is the good cop dilemma. If you actually try to do good they fire you or kill you.
Right, because they don’t yet understand that anti-capitalist revolution is the only way to secure the promises of the liberalism
Same, I last voted in ‘08 as well, and was one of the ≈160,000 people who voted McKinney/Clemente. The last (and only) election where I actually kind of sort of believed in a “major” candidate.
